Are these D bindings relevant to Rust developers? Or asked another way, is there some reason that the D bindings would be better to use than these native ones in Rust?



When I am writing or choosing (or bindings to) an API I always go and look at other languages (especially what the functional people do) to avoid repeating non-obvious mistakes and seeing where the impedance mismatches are.

Most recently, I've been playing with eBPF on Linux: The system call API is terse and pretty impenetrable, whereas the high-level APIs either mean writing gadgets in C with a nearly-blind debugging experience or relying on a library to retain the power of the featureset the kernel exposes.


This is the same stuff like julia community is doing. Spam language in every Python/R related topic (D guys target Nim/Rust)



Correcting false statement?


Ah that's true in spirit, but it wasn't entirely false.


It's hackernews not rustnews, though.
